In my childhood years, I often hear people commenting me; “Thank you, you’re such a gentleman!” or “You are very mature for your age!” However, being an only child doesn’t take the positive experience for me; there were couple problems. Loneliness and discomfort around other children was my major negative impacts of being an only child. I often wished I had a sibling or a cousin to talk or play with all the time. There were many times that I go outside and use my imagination as if my bike was my companion and the tree was my sanctuary home. Whenever there were other kids around, I kept quiet to myself, and the discomfort feeling created inability to interact with them. It was not until I joined karate that I could feel comfortable around kids my age and some who are older than …show more content…

There were times I wake up from the sound of my alarm clock going off, and I’ll be stumbling and stagnating as if I was a drunk person. In addition, I often asked myself what day is today or do I need to get ready for work or go to class. From time to time I take frequent naps, but it doesn’t always help me from the hours of sleep that I lost. I also find myself craving of drinking coffee or any sugary foods to get any energy boost.

    It is very easy for us as Americans to have all of these luxuries and comforts, and not think about the sacrifice and hardships that are required to produce these amenities. We often have no idea where our clothes or our cars originate. We don’t realize that for our happiness and enjoyment, oftentimes, others suffer. The short stories “The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas,” by Ursula Le Guin, and “The Lottery,” by Shirley Jackson, both, in their own ways, center around the idea of sacrifice for what, to their fictional societies, are common things. The idea of sacrifice is exposed in a way that may open the eyes of the reader and reveal to them more of the subtle (and not-so-subtle) instances of sacrifice in their everyday life.…

These certain programs are made for students who may have to arrive at school earlier than it starts, or stay after when everyone has been dismissed for the day.

And Carskadon also found that older adolescents are often more sleepy during the day than are younger adolescents.

    Throughout my childhood, adults frequently questioned me on whether or not I fit the stereotype of the only child. I have been asked if I was spoiled and bossy more times than I can count. In a way, I feel that I did fit this stereotype as a child, but I also feel at one time or another every child believes the world revolves around them. My family has described my younger self as being very defiant and strong-willed. I regularly did not listen to any of the tasks authority figures asked me to do, and instead I would stare at them and continue to do whatever I wanted.…

    Growing up, there was never much for me to do. I was the only child for a while, up until the age of four or five; the most critical and memorable ages for a child, I still remember those kindergarten days on the playground, no one would really play or interact with me. They would call me names, like weird or tomboy because I was the only girl playing in dirt, and talking to myself. I didn’t play tag with the other girls or talk about boys or dolls and other unimportant things that five year olds talked about. I talked to myself because I knew no one else would.…
